Power Sounder,
Inclination Sensor, and
Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard
theft-deterrent system
features, this system may also
have an inclination sensor, an
intrusion sensor, and power
sounder.
The power sounder provides
an audible alarm that is
different from the vehicle’s
horn. It has its own power
source, and can sound an
alarm when the vehicle’s
battery is compromised. The inclination sensor can set
off the alarm if it senses
movement of the vehicle, such
as a change in vehicle
orientation.
The intrusion sensor monitors
the vehicle interior, and can
set off the alarm if it senses
an unauthorized entry into the
vehicle’s interior. Do not allow
passengers or pets to remain
in the vehicle when the
intrusion sensor is activated.
Before arming the
theft-deterrent system and
activating the intrusion sensor:
.Make sure all doors and
windows are completely
closed.
.Secure any loose items such
as a sunshades.
.Make sure there are no
obstructions blocking the
sensors in the front
overhead console.

the vehicle. Older children
need to use seat belts
properly.
{Warning
Never allow more than one
child to wear the same seat
belt. The seat belt cannot
properly spread the impact
forces. In a crash, they can
be crushed together and
seriously injured. A seat belt
must be used by only one
person at a time.
{Warning
Never allow a child to wear
the seat belt shoulder belt
under both arms or behind
their back. A child can be
seriously injured by not
wearing the lap-shoulder
belt properly. In a crash, the
child would not be
restrained by the shoulder
belt. The child could move
too far forward increasing
the chance of head and neck
injury. The child might also
slide under the lap belt. The
belt force would then be
applied right on the
abdomen. That could cause
serious or fatal injuries. The
shoulder belt should go over
the shoulder and across the
chest.
Infants and Young
Children
Everyone in a vehicle needs
protection! This includes
infants and all other children.
Neither the distance traveled
nor the age and size of the
traveler changes the need, for
everyone, to use safety
restraints. In fact, the law in
every state in the United
States and in every Canadian
province says children up to
some age must be restrained
while in a vehicle.
